Gennius

Unlike umbrellas,
this cover won't blow away! The Gennius is the newest
innovation in European-style retractable patio covers. With an
amazing ability to master inclement weather, the Gennius
unfolds with the push of a button, guaranteeing use of your outdoor space. Most residential Gennius installations actually replace older lateral arm retractable awnings...
If you own
an awning you're probably not surprised - as you already appreciate the
many benefits of owning a high quality, custom shading solution; but
have experienced the limitations of products designed mostly for
shade. Once you have experienced outdoor living the way it's supposed
to be, it's easy to understand the value of a better solution.
The Gennius is also an excellent value for businesses. When it
comes to expanding your outdoor dining - it perfectly fills the gap
between the pros, cons and price points of stationary awnings and
full-blown renovations.

The Gennius Is One Strong Awning System, It:

Stands up to wind

Protects you from the rain

Protects you and your furnishings from the sun's harmful UV
rays

Keeps you cool and comfortable on a hot, humid day

Has integrated rain-water management system (Gutters, etc.)

Has aesthetically pleasing fabric that blocks either 90% or
100% of the sun's UV rays

The Gennius - Perfect for Al Fresco Dining

Own
a restaurant, hotel, bar or cafe with outdoor seating? Imagine
not having to shuffle patrons inside when the weather
turns... Not booking interior space in the off chance of
inclement weather for large bookings? Create that "closed in"
feeling and protection without actually closing your patrons in!

Described by Architects as "deceptively sleek", the Gennius is
available with Flame-resistant materials.

Gennius Heavy Duty, Most Popular Model - A2C

While integrated rainwater management is standard on this model,
lights and sound are optional.

Wood Pergola Look Gennius - L1S

The
L1S is a close second in popularity, for obvious reasons! The

Spruce, giving this retractable patio cover a softer, more natural

the perfect option for people considering a pergola for their deck
or patio. Gutters and rain management technology are also
standard on this retractable enclosure.

at night knowing that you can take those reservations even if it
rains."
